This is a great car. For years I drove a Suzuki Sidekick JLX (1994), and liked it a lot. When it was time for a newer vehicle, which had a little more room, was more dependable, etc., I looked into the XL-7. Luckily, after only a few weeks of actively looking, I found a 2003 on the lot. It had only 12,500 miles and was in great shape. After driving it around for a little bit I was hooked (and I test drove a lot of cars). It feels very roomy, has good acceleration with the V6, can store quite a bit of stuff in it (I do not have the 3rd seat option), and is very nice in the interior. I was shocked at how smooth the ride was! I've gotten that comment a lot from passengers, too.
All in all, Suzuki makes a wonderful SUV. It does everything I need it to do, and well. It's not great on gas (17-18 mpg), bu that is its only drawback to date. It's even covered with an excellent warranty (which was fully transferrable, in case you're thinking of buying used).
